    I would like some of your input on this:

    In a BULL MARKET: which sectors (and stocks) tend to rise before the BULL MARKET actually begins

    In a BEAR MARKET: which sectors tend to fall before the BEAR MARKET actually begins

    Also, which sectors (and stocks) can WE ALWAYS COUNT ON to follow the overall market trend (i.e., you will see these sectors (and stocks) ALWAYS RISE whenever the overall market trend is UP and you will see these sectors (and stocks) ALWAYS FALL whenever the overall market trend is DOWN.)

    a stock such that, for example: DJIA up means XYZ is up
    DJIA down means WXY is down

    I figured that since most of you do this for a living, you would have some input here.

    I do appreciate your responses. Thanks

    QQQ tends to trend/ lead on the upside + downside; in percentages, maybe not in time.Nasdaqqq finished 1987 down for the year[+ went down more than DOW,%%],S& P , DOW finished 1987 UP. Not a prediction, wisdom is profitable to direct.''Always'' is seldom true in stock market. Good question.
